Speedy deletion nomination of Comparateca

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Comparateca requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Notes

You contested deletion "because the platform exists, it is free to use and internet users are interested in knowing about it. Because it is a free platform not everybody using it knows exactly about its history, so eventually more people can contribute to expand the information provided.". We didn't say it didn't exist. Being free to use has no relevance here. You can have a 'history' subpage on your site to tell people the history. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a directory. We insist on notability for subjects, not merely existence. (If existence were the rule, we'd lose articles about quite a few gods for a start...) Please read WP:WEB and WP:GNG about notability, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources you need to give to prove the notability. You should read WP:COI as well. Then again, as this is the English language Wikipedia, you would need to translate the article before it could be used here, and get rid of the promotional tone in places. I can't give you links to the policies at the Spanish language Wikipedia, but anyone there with a fairly long term of editing (look at 'oldest' in their contributions) will be able to direct you. It's at es.wikipedia.org/ Rules differ between the Wikipedias (a couple of hundred, including Latin and Low Saxon...), but the basic principles are very much the same.
